I'm trying to use "mii-tool" to configure the NIC speed and duplex on a |
| 2 |
Dell 2850 server (currently auto negotiates and has negotiated |
| 3 |
100/half). The switch port is configured for 100/full. The Dell 2850 |
| 4 |
server uses the Broadcom chipset for the NIC and is a 10/100/1000 port. |
| 5 |
Every time I try to force the port using mii-tool, the server port stops |
| 6 |
responding and I have to reboot the box. Someone mentioned that mii-tool |
| 7 |
may not be the correct tool and to try ethtool. My question is will |
| 8 |
mii-tool work with a 10/100/1000 port? Should I be using ethtool under |
| 9 |
Gentoo and if so where do I get it/install it? |
